Saw this yday also.
Anyone reckon it'd be ok for hot wort transfer??
Bribie, et al?

I wouldn't put my wort near it.

"Ideal for transferring light liquids such as fresh water, sea water, dilute organic solvents, motor oil, heating oil, insecticides & liquid fertilisers"

I'd use it for the things listed there, except fresh water.

Yeah, I would not use that without finding out some more info first.

Need to know what temperature liquids it is able handle and if it is "food grade".

My guess, is a $14 pump is not going to meet those requirements we need.

Think it could be used safely with sanitiser? A mate was thinking it would be good to put a post on one of these to clean our his beer lines/taps fridge. Bit over the top, but you could even go as far as putting a spray ball on it for cleaning kegs and fermenters, or a cheap mini pressure washer for bottles?

You probably could, but for almost the same cost I would just set up a little brown pump or similar, at least we know they work and it also saves messing around with a drill and having to tolerate the noise it makes.

I really don't see any advantage in a drill powered pump.

EDIT: Referring to post above, not the OP.

I agree with Florian, looks like a big hassle to me. There's plenty of cheap pumps out there that would do a better job IMO.

Then blame someone else.
